Sorry to say, but this site has been so depressing for a few days. I thought I'd ask an average, everyday question....to make us all feel a little more normal today.
I made Eggplant Lasagna, and my BIL and SIL are coming for dinner. They leave for Cali tomorrow to see their beautiful grand daughter.
Sorry, sometimes we just need some REGULAR conversation.......or at least THIS caregiver does.
Cap, one thing we do not skimp on here is food. Safeway has this section called "Manager's Specials". I usually buy all my meat in that section... bought a pound of lean ground beef for 3 bucks, 4 nice pork chops ...4 bucks, a filet mingon roast, otherwise known as chateaubriand, 1.4 lbs ... 10 bucks (50% off) no... no skimping of food, especially in the winter :)... now, I just need to learn how to cook this fab roast?
my beans turned out really good . aunt edna will love em .
i too , hope boni is having a fun time . im sure her life is upside down with the recent developments with her mother . when my mother passed away i couldnt stay in her home another minute . it was our home and just wasnt right with her missing .
i eat well jeanette but my savings come from buying nothing but basics . no prepared food here ever . i buy onions then chop em up into sandwich baggies and freeze em . never have an onion go to waste that way .
Added that to the stew and it had amazing flavor and fun to eat.
Been enjoying homemade whipped cream in coffee or Roma (a grain coffee from health food store). Viva homemade and simple food: lots of veggies! But oh, that turkey was some good! This year Mom was grateful and nice to me. Last year she was grouchy and criticized everything.
The concert was the local professional Chamber Orchestra performing all six Bach Brandenburg Concertos. It was held in a Jewish Temple that I had never been in before and that in itself was interesting.
Great night out!
judda,
mecaline is good as long as you dont go all aztec on everybody and be trying to make human sacrifices and such .
i think of turkey manhatten when i think of thanksgiving leftovers . maybe i like it cause it was one of the more palatable meals that the schools used to serve .
choices are getting better around here after a little over a year back at home . i have chicken quarters and pork loin in the freezer . made choc oatmeal no bake cookies twice this week . maybe ill mix up some of the canned apples with the canned brats and see what transpires .
jeanne,
i paid eleven bucks for a cold 24 oz can of beer at a concert in july . i was thinkin this better be the best beer i ever drank -- well they got lucky .
I could make quite a few at home for that price.
Tonight is smoked sausage and sauerkraut with some veggies or salad on the side.
Tonight it felt good to have old-fashioned comfort food, in this case chow mein hot dish from a 60s recipe.
Whatever you have in the house! :)
Last night it was homemade mushroom marinara over spaghetti. (I froze sauce for 2 meals last time I made it.) Since no one was willing to run out of a loaf of French bread or a baguette, I made cheddar garlic biscuits. No problem.
Tonight it is quiche with ham, 2 kinds of cheese, mushrooms, and broccoli -- because that is what I had on hand. I would have liked some red sweet pepper on it, but not enough to actually go to the store for them. :)
I don't know about where you are, but Baby it is COLD outside here in Minnesota.
About pudding meat? Is that blood pudding? My MIL used to eat that. It's gross.
jeez . im laying stone again after 14 months of cutting firewood . firewood was a long nap on a rainy afternoon compared to this s* it . its more like self violence than self abuse . my true love is solid indiana granite and a hammer has to be moving 350 mph to trim on the stuff . one of these days my back's gonna blow and take out 30 innocent bystanders .
I am now cooking for 4 adults every night, and enjoying it!
jeanne, i cant think of waffles without thinking of ice cream on them . heck of a combination ..
dinner has got to be quick and easy during my working season cause if you were to check my vitals when i get home im pretty sure im legally dead .
(go to Pinterest and search on "low carb taco soup" for the recipe)
